A pretty positive article in today's Gardian about younger people taking up caravanning: https://www.theguardian.com/busines...aravanning-covid-holidays-caravans-motorhomes

Bad news for us as campsites will be full! 😀

 

[Thingy]

And millions if ankle biters hurtling round on bikes and skateboards. My life is complete.

Possibly not bad news for us, as without a new generation coming on sites themselves might well have closed with our . passing. Certainly the 5 van sites we way prefer.

 

[Thingy]

I thought we had a new generation with motorhomes 😉

I would think that most wanting to try caravans will have them by now but it might encourage a few more.

We been to caravan dealer today there was not one preowned caravan in stock there been a lot younger people buying so it looks like it already happening 😉.

Don’t worry Buckman and Thingy.

There are still,plenty of Adult only sites🤪🤪

 

[Thingy]

Hey Dusty, I only qualify as an adult by age. Im still a teenager at heart. Mind you, my heart keeps writing cheques that my bones cant cash.

WE've just come off a site-1 caravan owner and two tent owners were VERY young by our standards-late 20s maybe-they were all quiet as meeces-late 50s couple turned up-music on beer out at 2pm-luckily they were frazzled by around 6pm and Bon Jovi went quiet!

So at 25 with a young family and no money I had my first caravan . The kids loved it, were not noisy, and learnt so much about life in the wild. No Club Houses. Bring it on and welcome the new ones. Some will go back to Spanish hols . The acid test will be next year when we see a surplus of used caravans and unwanted dogs😥😥

 

[Raywood]

Like you we bought our first caravan when we had children although we were a bit older and they loved the way of life. My youngest daughter is borrowing it l next week so the tradition continues and both our parents had them before us.
I do agree that next year second hand prices will drop as those that want to keep them will have them and those that do not will put them up for sale but may be surprised at what they lose on the deal.

Me and wife and our son plus two dogs started off with this small van when we were a bit younger we would like to trade in our caravan for 4 berth with twin bunks and end washroom 😉
